Orientation

The comfortable experience of feeling like you know where you are in relation to God.

Disorientation

The uncomfortable experience of realizing either you are not where you thought you were or God is not where you thought God is. 

Reorientation

A grounding experience of newness as you find yourself and God afresh.

- Walter Brueggemann

The revelation of our illusions creates disorientation. This is uncomfortable because we are most often deluded into thinking we have more power and control than we have. Notice the invitations of limitations and discover new graces inviting you into new possibilities.

Pottery

Individual and Group Formation

Deep transformation is inseparable from capacity for imagination and courageous action. We offer multiple avenues of cultivating this-- individual and group spiritual direction, Nuos coaching and a variety of topical groups that will help you see new invitations and live from an abundant heart.

Group Discussion

Education and Intensives

Through reading, discussion, contemplative reflection, group spiritual direction and other creative engagement, become equipped as a competent and wise sojourner for the spiritual seeker and open possibilities of deeper relationships with others in your life.
